modifying existing data items much easier.

•

In DD-Link one can display, edit and print the data items by the aid of the accentuated CASIO character

set.

Data Communication:

•

Can be transmitted one at a time or more data item, register or the all CASIO registers. In case of SY

or PV types the DD-Link supports the

PC Sync

direct synchronize function. By use of the

MSS

(Multiple Synchronization System) in case of PV types can be keep the unit in of sync with more PC

dossier at the same time .

•

Filtering or - in PC Sync case - deleting double entries.

•

Harmonizing the database of both unit according to „keyfields” with the

Update

function, or with

attention of similarity (by preventing from doubling) with the normal

Synchronize

function by all

calculator types. Harmonizing with chaining data items of one unit to data items of another unit using

Direct synchronize

(PC Sync).

The DD-Link supports the synchronization of the more units to the

one PC dossier. These units can be different subtypes. The full PV unit or only one register of it can be

keep in of sync with more different PC dossier by the

MSS (Multiple Synchronization System)

•

Automatic PC Sync start on PC by pushing Synchronize button of calculator or Start button on cradle.

•

Automatic COM port control and cable recognition.

•

Support the

USB

port handling in case of the newer PV types.

•

The program interface and its handling is similar to those of Editor programs (File Edit Search … menu

commands)

•

Menus are similar to that of Windows, and the application has a windowed structure.

•

Editing data items by the aid of an integrated editor using standard keyboard assignment. Edition can be

performed either in the width of the CASIO display or in a variably wide window. Clipboard operations

are supported.
